A Day Without a Clock

What would it be to wake up as the sun shines, to clean up when I feel dirty, to answer those calls for hunger and water as and when they rise, to sleep when the system is sleepy?

May I, for a day, overthrow the clocks on my wall?

May I, for a day , forget what it is to count the hour?

“Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.” - Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting life’s moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down. Soon, in every nation and in every language, time became the most precious commodity.” ― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“There was always a quest for more minutes, more hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of living between summers was gone.” ― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“Everything man does today to be efficient, to fill the hour? It does not satisfy. It only makes him hungry to do more. Man wants to own his existence. But no one owns time. When you are measuring life, you are not living it.” ― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.” - William Faulkner

But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day. -Benjamin Disraeli

Time goes, you say? Ah no!Alas, Time stays, we go.~Henry Austin Dobson
